Ok, I understand that I have to get the AAC plugin from MainConcept to make my stream work on the iPhone. My question is about FLME. I have FMLE 3.1. I see format, and I can change it to H.264. But when I click the wrench next to format there is no “main” to change to “baseline”! The options I have is Keyframe frequency, quality, noise reduction, Datarate window and CPU Usage.

Do Android and BlackBerry smartphones need the AAC plugin for FLME also? If not how to make those phones view the live stream?

I publish with quicktime broadcaster since the Tech specs says it has H.264 and AAC (low complexity) but the iPhone just showed a blank page. I used the url suggested in the tutorial for iPhones.

Do you know if I can use quicktime broadcaster to publish a live stream to an iPhone?

I downloaded the AAC plugin from MainConcepts. On my FLME encoder I set the following:

video format: H.264 (profile: baseline, level: 3.0, keyframe freq: 5 sec)

audio format: AAC and I tried HE-AAC

It plays in the flash player.

On the iPhone I get either a blank page, server cannot be found or the Wowza server version.

I typed the following with my server address in the iPhone

http://[wowza-address]:1935/live/myStream.sdp/playlist.m3u8

I got to broadcast last on the iPhone.

I tried the live-record. It records as .flv, how do I save as both .flv and .m4v?

I am using FLME and encoding in H.264/HE-AAC.

Your solution allowed me to record .mp4 but how do I record as both formats simultaneously. I want to publish a live feed and have it recorded as both .flv and mp4. Is that possible?

Ok thank you. I just realized that the flash player can play .mp4 so I guess I will record in .mp4 since both the iPhone and the flash player can re-stream that format.

Does Android and Blackberry use the same format .mp4 for playback/

How do I stop unauthorized persons from publishing to my application? Is SecureURLParamse solution? If how do use it?
